rexie was a ratter
thought he was a bird dog
but rodents are his thing
doesn't matter if it's a squirrel
woodchuck, or even a hamster
it's just a rat to rexie
took him deer-hunting
tracked a buck through the back
country, rexie had him
holed up in a grotto
after the dust cloud cleared
out came rexie, a red squirrel
clenched between his jaws like a chewbone
strutting around, gnawing and snarling
whipping that rodent into a frothy frenzy
even the buck was sort of amazed
as we stood there, astonished
at rexie's peculiar behavior
my friend, a big norwegian named ole
olson said: jumping jimminy!
you got yourself a ratter
in his thick norwegian accent
with the jays that sound like whys
apparently, norwegians know their ratters
makes sense, once you think about it

Now THERE is a dog for you! At least he has no identity problems now ...

Oh what fun Rexie would be
save the birds, good boy.
Good humor as always mr.

you're onna roll! Love this!

I saw this on FB but sorry didn't reply there... but i read it... and now I read it again! and I'm glad I did.

Have I mentioned lately how much I enjoy your poetry?

thanks! a friend of mine sent me a video about ratters - hence, the poem. you never know what you'll write about next in the poetry business!

it does make sense if ye think abt it.

this is a fun one. i've seen a beast like that in action.
